A Plan In Motion-Chapter 11
Rosalie followed Vinnie and stopped short on seeing the two newly declared lovers in each other's arms kissing. She shut her eyes and looked away. She walked away from them with her head down.
"Why didn't he tell me he had a girlfriend?" She wondered, "She's not even a Martian Mouse!"
"Hey, Ros!"
Spitfire ran towards her sister.
"I did it! I used the Regenerator to clone a Pinkseed leaf!" She cried out, excitedly and showing her the leaf.
"That's. Great." She replied, unenthusiastic.
"Okay, what's wrong? You look like you lost your best friend in the world." She asked, noticing her sister's expression.
"Maybe I have." She muttered.
Then she told her everything.
"His kneecaps are gonna get busted tonight! He's got a lot of nerve leading you on like that!"Spitfire spat out.
"I'm just so shocked it's not a Martian Mouse. I didn't know there were any human beings living on Mars." She replied.
"I heard Dad say there was a human being living at Martian Command. She comes from the planet Earth. That's probably her. I've only been there once with Dad. It was really beautiful. Blue oceans and lush green vegetation. No wonder the Rot Fishes wanted to get their grubby fins on it."
"I don't know what Vinnie could see in that funny looking hairless creature. She doesn't have any fur or a tail. Bet she catches cold easily. And you can hardly see her ears! She looks weak and inexperienced." Rosalie muttered.
"Sounds like someone's jealous." Spitfire smirked.
"Don't be silly."
"You always were a terrible liar, Ros.
Both girls looked up to see Stoker staring at them.
"And the punk is free to date who he wants."
"As long as it's not me. Is that what you mean?" Rosalie blurted out, angrily.
"Just looking out for you."
"Hey, 'Dad'" she replied, air quoting with her fingers, "I told you. I'm a big girl now. Who I choose to date isn't your business."
She angrily stomped off. Spitfire went after her.
"Well, that didn't go well." Throttle said.
"She'll get over it." Stoker said.
"Right now, we need to get Vinnie and Modo." Throttle said.
Carbine took out her communicator.
"Freedom Fighters, Torris Rainer has escaped! Be on the lookout!" Carbine cried out.
...
Stoker held a meeting with the Biker Mice and the Freedom Fighters.
"About all we know is that between midnight to 2 a.m. is when the breakout took place. He's the only one out of the five that escaped." Stoker said.
"Did anyone see how he got out?" Vinnie asked, "That cell is made of Martian rock."
"Yeah, even my laser cannon couldn't make a dent out of it." Modo said.
"Well, once we confronted the remaining council members they told some crazy, cockamamie story about some bat woman with a scaly tail breaking him out." Stoker replied.
Carbine's flirty cousin, Turbine was there with her friend Arielle.
"A bat woman? Seriously? That stuff is just a myth. Someone has got an overactive imagination. Huh, Arielle?" She laughed, jabbing her friend in the ribs with her elbow.
"Yes. Crazy." Arielle looked pale at hearing the words 'bat woman.'
"I, uh, gotta go." She ran off, during the meeting.
"Hey, Arielle! Where are you going?" Turbine cried out.
...
Arielle ran outside and fell to her knees on the ground.
"Oh, mom...how could you?!" She thought, sadly.
"Arielle? You alright, darlin'?"
She looked quickly up to see Modo approach her.
"It's nothing." She lied.
He helped her up.
"You sure you're alright? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Just a little tired."
"Arielle, if you're in some kind of trouble, Ah wish you'd tell me. Ah .really...like you a lot."
''Well, I...like you a lot, too, Modo." She replied, smiling and blushing while looking down, "I'm beginning to understand how much you mean to me."
She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. Suddenly, her amulet began to glow.
"What was that?"
"I'll tell you, I promise. Join me for lunch later, okay?" She asked.
"S-sure."
She ran off.
The large gray mouse blushed as he touched the cheek she just kissed.
"Oh, momma...That is one amazing lady... He breathed.
...
"Ah, Brimstone City. My Brimstone city." Torris Rainer sighed, happily.
"It serves my purpose well. Let us see if we can't combine modern technology and ancient magic together." Charla said, tossing some things in a giant swirling black cauldron.
"And you're sure this potion of yours can regenerate even clone Martian Mice?" Torris asked.
"Of course. The more you use it, the longer it lasts." She explained, "I've already started the cloning process."
There before them were huge glass containers that contained the naked bodies of Martian Mice. Charla poured her potion into a test tube. She opened one of the huge IV tube and attached the potion to it. Within seconds, the clones of Martian Mice began breathing and they opened their eyes. Charla helped them out. They were soon clothed.
"They are ready, Torris. They have no memories of their former lives." Charla told him.
"My people, I am Torris Rainer. I gave you life. Swear your loyalty to me." He told them.
The clones bowed to him.
"We will create a new Mars. But there are those who want to stop us. The Biker Mice. The Freedom Fighters. We must punish them! These insurgents!" Torris Rainer cried out.
...
Arielle took out her amulet. The red stone glowed with an unearthly aura. It also began pointing outside of Martian Command.
"It's leading me to Mom!" Arielle thought.
Suddenly, she began transforming.
"No..." She cried, as her nails became claws, her tail became scaly, and bat wings shot out of her back, "Not again!"
She took off and flew into the air.
"Mom has no idea what she's gotten herself into. I have to find her before it's too late!" She thought.
